Interesting phenomenon I want to discuss with everyone. Some time ago, I shared a long position setup at 3090, with a stop loss at 3075 and a take profit at 3320, achieving a risk-reward ratio of 15:1. Such high odds opportunities are inherently rare, but the traders who took it didn't even hold for an hour before exiting.
What is the real reason behind this? Lack of psychological preparation? Or differences in risk appetite? I think this reflects a common dilemma many traders face when dealing with large orders—setting rational take profit points but easily breaking their mindset due to short-term fluctuations during execution.
A 15:1 risk-reward ratio setup actually provides a very ample risk-reward space, with stop loss and take profit distances carefully calculated. But why do high odds opportunities still often end in failure? This might be worth reflecting on for all traders regarding their risk management and psychological resilience.
Feel free to discuss in the comments. Has anyone encountered similar situations? How did you handle them?
